OP gone. I tried to buy his truck for 20k as he offered but no dice. What a shocker.

I will be on a plane tomorrow if you will sell me your truck for $20k. I’ll bring a nice bottle of bourbon for ya too!

I got everything I expected from my Gen 1 and am extremely happy that I’m still getting useful updates 3 years later. Gen 1 owners are not neglected at all. Kind of a crazy position to take IMO. Rivian isn’t perfect and I have a complaint or two, as I’m sure everyone does about every vehicle...

I like to switch out every few years too, but I don’t think there’s a better daily out there (at a reasonable price, that is - I’d swap it for a Cayenne Turbo or maybe a Taycan Turbo…). Makes the idea of a 2nd vehicle a lot more appealing when you know that the Rivian will still be close to the...

I plan on keeping mine 10-15 years. I’m also planning on paying about 5-6k for a lengthy extended warranty. With this thing as my daily, I can justify a highly depreciated fun sports car in a few more years.

Was also looking to change to different wheels until the Michelins came out. Hard to sell a set of 21’s for more than about $1,000 unless you’re willing to sit and wait for a buyer for a long time. You might sell quickly, but you might have them 6 months from now too. Even then, maybe you get...

The late model Gen 1 had an improved suspension. Some of us early Gen 1’s had to have our suspensions replaced (under warranty) to the updated components, including myself. It was a noticeable difference in noise and the ride was a little improved, but not much. I didn’t even know I had an issue...

As Gen 1 owner for 3 years, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to buy one used. That being said, immediately take it to Rivian and pay for an inspection. Everything except the 12v will still be under warranty and Rivian will fix any issues found. Then buy an extended warranty which is only like...

I’ve had a Gen 1 T for 3 years. I was checking on how much a new one costs and it’s not even close to being worth it IMO. That’s mostly because I don’t want autonomous driving - if I did, I’d be seriously considering a Gen 2. A early Gen 1 with 30k miles (or less) can be had for 50k. A new dual...

If you run thicker wire, make sure your EVSE can handle it. My Charegpoint Home Flex, for example, can’t handle anything thicker than 6 gauge.

I have a lot of issues and it’s been with an iPhone 14 Pro and now an iPhone Air. I actually don’t think it’s so much the Rivian as it is my phone. Sometimes it works perfectly fine and unlocks as I walk up, but usually it sits there for a while doing nothing. The gear guard video will be...

Yeah, I ended up with the T because I didn’t wanna pay 5k more and wait an extra 6+ months for an S (back in the early days when we were all on here posting about when we got “the email”), and it was a blessing in disguise. The S is a very good vehicle, but I have ended up really liking the T a...

Does BMW actually make net profit on EV’s? Either way, the BMW customer base is willing to pay a premium price that the Ford customer base is not. Ford is probably making the right decision here. That’s why Porsche was killing it with the Taycan for a couple years - they have buyers that will...

One of my favorite things about Rivian is the screen right behind the wheel rather than having everything in the center. This attempt to be a hybrid of both is a hard miss for me.

Be happy that all you get is 2% per day. It could be a lot worse.

Would be very, very cool, but hard to justify. There’s still some great R1T camper builds available that keep most of the range and also the off-road capability.

I always have doubts when this is OP’s first post ever. Seen that situation a few times before…

I’m very pro-capitalism, but this is why I totally disagree with people who say they’ll pay a little more for this or that to help Rivian become profitable and survive. RJ should care more than anyone and he definitely isn’t cool with taking one for the team. And I’m not saying he should - few...

I’ll pay extra to not have to deal with lines and give Tesla any money. An extra hour of my life and no extra frustration dealing with half-baked apps, broken chargers, and other tech issues on a road trip is worth $10 to me.

Pirelli 21’s were fine for light off roading in the PNW. They wear out fast though for a lot of people - like 15,000-20,000 miles. Defender LTX is a replacement option that’s nice though.
